SOBHA LIMITED (Formerty Sobtia Developers Limited) REAL ESTATE OPERATIONAL UPDATE — Q2 FY 2015-16 The second quarter of fiscal 2016, though beset with difficulties for the real estate sector, ended on a positive note with the announcement of the much desired rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India. With @ reduction of 50 basis points in repo rate, the central bank has sought to give an impetus to arrest the falling growth levels of the economy. The relaxation in monetary policy has come at an ‘opportune time for the realty sector, particularly, as most of the leading lending institutions have followed RBI's lead and announced a reduction in home loan rates. Though the benefits of the Interest rate cuts have not yet been passed on to the fullest possible extent by the lending institutions, we hope the same will happen in the coming quarters. Further, the RBI has also lowered the risk weightage assigned to borrowings in the affordable housing segment. It is ‘expected that the steps taken by RBI will also benefit the companies availing construction finance in the form of lowered interest rates. ‘The real estate sector has been faced with numerous challenges in the past couple of years. The impact of the stretched macro-economic fundamentals was felt keenly in the realty space with demand contracting in all markets across the country with the exception of Bangalore, As sales slowed down, the heightened interest rates and! inflationary pressures affected the performance of the sector. In this scenario, the recent steps taken by RBI, with the lending institutions seemingly following sult is a welcome respite for the sector. In this backdrop, performance of the real estate operations of the Company during the second ‘uarter of the financial year 2015-16 was satisfactory. The new sales achieved in locations outside the Company's home turf has displayed growth which is noteworthy. The contribution from these ‘markets has increased from 140,916 square feet in Qt'16 to 244,344 square feet in Q2'16, and this improvement should augur well for the remainder ofthe financial year. ‘The Company during the quarter achieved new sales of 850,329 square feet valued at € 4,950 milion with an average realisation of ¢ 5,822 per square feet.
